Version 1 has achieved Oracle Cloud Standard<\/strong> status, recognising the company’s expertise, investment and success in helping organisations adopt Oracle Cloud services.<\/p>\n

\n

The Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Cloud Programme enables partners to demonstrate their skills and capabilities across Oracle Cloud technologies while differentiating themselves through Oracle’s cloud applications and platform services.<\/p>\n

To achieve the Oracle Cloud Standard designation, Version 1 demonstrated:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Proven expertise in Oracle Cloud Services<\/li>\n
  • Certified Oracle Cloud capabilities<\/li>\n
  • Successful delivery of Oracle Cloud solutions<\/li>\n
  • Influence on Oracle Cloud subscriptions across multiple global organisations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This recognition further strengthens Version 1’s position as one of the leading Oracle partners across the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

    Oracle Cloud Managed Services Partner Programme<\/h5>\n

    Version 1 was also accredited under the Oracle Cloud Managed Services Partner Programme<\/strong>, a global initiative designed to recognise Oracle partners with the certifications, technical expertise and cloud sales capabilities required to manage customers’ Oracle Cloud environments.<\/p>\n

    The programme allows accredited partners to manage a customer’s complete Oracle Cloud relationship, including support services, under a managed services model.<\/p>\n

    Benefits of the programme include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Access to Oracle product management teams<\/li>\n
    • Access to development and testing environments<\/li>\n
    • Enhanced support capabilities<\/li>\n
    • Preferential commercial arrangements for customers<\/li>\n
    • End-to-end Oracle Cloud management services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      A Select Group of Accredited Partners<\/h5>\n

      Commenting on the achievement, Ken McMahon, Head of Oracle Integration at Version 1<\/strong>, said:<\/p>\n

      “The Oracle Cloud Managed Services Partner Programme allows us to incorporate Oracle Cloud subscriptions within the broader Version 1 Managed Services contract.<\/p>\n

      At the time of accreditation, there were only 28 partners globally accredited to the programme and just two across the UK and Ireland. Version 1 was also the first EMEA partner to complete a customer transaction through the Managed Services Partner Programme.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      The accreditation highlighted Version 1’s ability to support customers throughout the entire Oracle Cloud lifecycle, from procurement and migration through to operational support and ongoing optimisation.<\/p>\n

      Strengthening the Oracle Partnership<\/h2>\n

      Joe McGlynn, Head of Oracle Capability at Version 1<\/strong>, commented:<\/p>\n

      “Version 1’s extensive experience and long-standing partnership with Oracle has reached a new level through acceptance into the Oracle Cloud Partnership Programme.<\/p>\n

      This recognition enables us to bring state-of-the-art cloud capabilities and support services to our customers while helping them maximise value from their Oracle investments.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
